This is my want to be Country Buggy . Built from steel in the best way I can .I started 2 months ago on a 59 pan . I will upload more pictures if anyone has interest . I think I am the only lover of Country Buggys.I just finished the bumpers and a full rack for the top .I will powdercoat it when I finish a couple more things .

Post some more pictures as you go along. It might not be pretty (yet or ever???), but you're building something different.
Keep us posted!!

It will be street legal and it could be slammed for the slammed lovers . Could be made higher for hunting and camping , but I did this one on a swing axle. Not into the bent axle look .I also hate the look of the seats that are in it . But they work great for the build . It will have lowbacks .

Interesting project. Can't say the country buggy appeals to me, but they are an ACVW curiosity.
Where are you?

From TheSamba.com
VW Fact #923: The only Australian-designed Volkswagen was the 1968 Country Buggy. It was not a sales success, as only 1,956 were made, but the survivors are very collectable today. The Country Buggy provided some inspiration for the later German-designed Type 181 'Thing'.

The rack is ready to powdercoat . The rack is for when I take my bikes or small boat with me . Mostly I will tow it behind my H2 to where Im going then drive it around . This Summer it will spend in Steamboat Spring Colorado USA . Perfect weather for no top or A/c .
